Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whats steps he is taking to improve public awareness and understanding of sepsis.

The Government continues to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of sepsis, through initiatives like Public Health England (PHE)’s national Start4life Information Service for Parents email programme, which targets parents of children under five-years-old; leaflets, posters and a content-rich social media toolkit for partners to use on their own channels are available for them to raise awareness at a community level. PHE has also worked in partnership with Mumsnet, a leading digital platform for parents, to raise awareness through editorial and social media promotion.
